APPLICANT: NP Limited Partnership; c/o Dave Perry, Agent.; Dave Perry Company, Inc.; 411 East Town Street, 1st Floor; Columbus, OH 43215, and Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 411 East Town Street, 2nd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on November 9, 2017.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 2.47± acre site is undeveloped and consists of one parcel and the northwest corner of an adjacent parcel, both zoned in the L-C-4, Limited Commercial District. The requested L-ARLD, Limited Apartment Residential Development will allow multi-unit residential development. The limitation text provides commitments to landscaping, screening, and pedestrian connectivity. The site is within the boundaries of the Far North Area Plan (2014), which recommends community commercial land uses at this location. While the proposed use is not consistent with the Plan’s land use recommendation, Staff supports deviation noting that the site directly abuts multi-unit residential development on two sides. Additionally, the request is consistent with the density and development standards of the L-ARLD zoning district east and south of the subject site.
